SLOW COOKER SPICY CHICKEN
I sometimes chop up a chipotle pepper and throw it in with some adobo sauce for a twist. I don't measure spices, so my measurements are conservative.

SLOW COOKER RANCH CHICKEN NACHOS
I have a love/hate relationship with nachos. The love part? How can one not appreciate a giant platter of crunchy carbs topped with all the shredded meats and all the melted cheeses and spicy what nots and more crunchy do dads and cool, creamy sauces and salsas? It's a no-brainer. The hate part? My unruly lack of self control when it comes to all the things. This version is blanketed with a world of ranchy shredded chicken and green bell peppers, so there's just no way to prepare you or your mouth for what's about to happen.

Steps:
- Make the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/2 cup onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 minutes. Stir in the minced serrano, chile powder and zest and juice of 1 lime; stir 30 seconds. Stir in the chicken broth and chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until thickened, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the mango salsa: Combine the mango, sliced serrano, reserved 1/2 cup diced onion, the tomato, cilantro, the juice of the remaining lime and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until foaming, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until smooth.
- Reheat the chicken mixture, if necessary. Arrange the plantain chips on a platter. Top with half of the cheese sauce, the chicken, remaining cheese sauce, guacamole and mango salsa.
CHICKEN NACHOS (SPICY)
This is a rather guessed out recipe. There is a restaurant near my house called Hector and Jimmy's where they make The Super Chicken Nacho which takes up about 1.5 feet by 1.5 feet and serves about 4 people...So I figured I'd take my best shot at it with a few modifications of my own.

Steps:
- Pour the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat on medium heat for 2 minutes or until pan is warm.
- Add Chicken breasts to pan and add salt and pepper to your taste, cook chicken thoroughly so there is no pink in the middle of the breast.
- Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and cut the breasts into very small chunks.
- Optional Step: Once they are in small chunks if you want a better appearances, take to forks and stick the tines of one fork into the the other fork so they form an X shape over each piece of chicken and then spread the forks apart, this should basically'shred' the chicken into tiny little strips.
- Once your chicken is cut/shredded place the chicken back into the frying pan (still on medium) and let it warm again, once the pan is warm stir in the package of taco seasoning with 2/3 cups of water (as directed by the package).
- If you like hot nachos, put in some cayenne pepper (to taste) as well, careful though, it gets spicy quick.
- While the excess water is boiling off of the pan layer a cookie sheet with Tostitos (I also put a layer of aluminum foil under the chips so that all the extra melted cheese doesn't stick to the pan and create a huge hassle to clean later).
- Once your pan is layered with chips, spread half the bag of chedder cheese onto the chips.
- Now take the chicken out of the pan and layer it over the chips evenly.
- Next put the rest of the bag of cheese over the nachos.
- Now place this in the oven for up to 10 minutes, it might take less, just take it out when the cheese is melted.
- Now feel free to add whatever you like to your nachos, in my case it is all the ingredients above that are listed as optional, this should make a great appetizer or even a full meal, kids seem to love it.

Tips:
- Select the best chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are ideal for this recipe. If you prefer dark meat, thighs are a flavorful option.
- Adjust the spiciness: The amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper can be adjusted to your taste. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until you reach the desired level of heat.
- Use fresh ingredients for the salsa: Fresh tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers add a vibrant flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, you can use a high-quality store-bought salsa.
- Layer the nachos carefully: Start with a layer of tortilla chips, followed by the chicken, cheese, and salsa. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up.
- Don't overcook the nachos: The nachos should be heated through, but not soggy. Keep an eye on them while they're cooking and remove them from the oven once the cheese is melted and bubbly.
